Drilling and blasting are critical within the mining industry and affect subsequent operations including milling, and can therefore limit the competitivity of a mine. Ideally, upon blasting, the valuable rock (a.k.a. the ore) should land in piles that are distinct from the piles of waste rock. However, some waste rock is inevitably mixed with the […]

The heavy-duty fuel cell truck project will address specific challenges in decarbonizing the BC heavy duty transportation sector. Class 8 heavy duty fuel cell trucks available for US markets are not suitable for the challenging demands of BC terrain as well as higher allowable transportation loads of 64 tons versus 40 tons. Simulations will be […]

Current communication means such as; Spreadsheet, the internet and Emails are not good enough when a change happens in a Billion $ oil and gas project where hundreds of technicians, engineers, managers, contractors from various disciplines in different locations are involved. The solution is an automated workflow process. Simply put, workflow is the step-by-step procedure […]

The proposed research project seeks to define the environmental advantages and cost challenges associated with the design of two types of alternative fuel vehicles; battery electric and bi-fuel CNG + gasoline, with respect to a changing American market. These alternative fuel vehicles will be compared to traditional internal combustion vehicles and assessed based on the […]

Despite the low rate of occurrence, inmate suicide is a tragedy that results in a loss of life and leads to a number of problems for the correctional institution. The goal of this project is to remotely monitor inmates in custody using radar technology in order to detect suicide attempts. Current radar systems for vital-sign […]

L’utilisation de l’aluminium dans les ponts permet d’obtenir des structures résistantes à la corrosion, plus légères et remplaçables plus facilement. Ceci en fait une option intéressante sur le long terme. Les platelages de ponts sont constitués d’extrusions en aluminium et sont soudés en usine par des procédés de soudure par fusion comme le MIG et […]

This project addresses a flexible autonomous robotic welding system. Despite the advancements in robotic systems, there are still significant challenges in developing welding robots for industrial applications. Challenges such as accurately determining the weld seam coordinates, ensuring the electrode head remains at the correct distance from the weld seam, and mitigating high environmental noise have […]
